Wood Burning Stove Installation in Rise Park Romford
Rise Park is a popular residential area on the northern edge of Romford, with a mix of 1960s and 1970s housing stock. Many Rise Park properties have original fireplace openings that have not been used for solid fuel in decades — some converted to gas fires, others boarded over when central heating arrived. The chimney stacks on this type of housing are typically in sound condition and well-suited to lining for a wood burning stove once properly assessed and tested.
The most common job type in Rise Park is the modified install — gas fire removed, opening assessed and prepared, 125mm liner installed, new register plate and stove connected and commissioned. Full conversions from boarded-up openings are also regular work in this area. If you are in Rise Park and want to know whether your fireplace is suitable, a call or WhatsApp with a photo of the opening and chimney breast is the quickest first step.

HETAS Certified Since 2003
Rise Park is mostly 1930s semi-detached — well-built housing with original chimney stacks in better structural condition than most homeowners expect. The chimney is still there above the gas fire. It just needs sweeping, lining and using again. Craig has been HETAS certified since 2003, company 6943, installer 23592.

Stove Installation FAQ
Can you install a wood burning stove in a 1960s or 1970s property in Rise Park?
Yes. The 1960s and 1970s housing stock in Rise Park typically has original chimney stacks in good structural condition. The internal flue dimensions are usually standard — 9 inch square — which means a 125mm stainless steel liner is installed to reduce the flue to the correct size for a modern stove. We sweep the flue and carry out smoke tests before any liner goes in to confirm the chimney is serviceable.
My gas fire has been removed and the fireplace is empty. Do I need anything before a stove goes in?
Yes — a full pre-installation assessment. We sweep the flue, carry out smoke tests one and two per Building Regulations Part J, check the hearth dimensions and assess the opening. If the gas supply has been capped but not fully disconnected, we coordinate a Gas Safe engineer to confirm it is made safe before we start. Once everything passes, the liner and register plate go in and the stove is connected and commissioned.
We carry out a lot of stove installations in Rise Park, particularly in properties without an existing chimney. The area has seen significant extension activity over the past decade — single-storey rear extensions are common, and where no chimney exists a twin wall insulated flue system provides the complete solution from stove to above roof level. If your extension is still being built, the best time to install the flue is as a first fix while the roof is open. We have a roofer available for all penetration work — every element under one contract.
